Wow - what a hotel. We've stayed in fancy hotels all over the world - and this has to be one of the best. As described in other reviews - the Westcliff is built on a cliff - so the views from the rooms are simply stunning. We had two french doors - one of which opened onto a private... more

Amazing beautiful hotel-very elegant! Built on terraced location-Beautful pool and view of Johannesburg on top level. The Polo lounge at the hotel had the "Out of Africa" atmosphere. The rooms were decorated with taste-a remote controlled pop up TV at the end of the bed was a special feature. more

The hotel was fantastic - we were treated like royalty (despite it being inauguration day for the new prime minister and there being lots of other dignitaries staying there) as we were on honeymoon we got a bottle of... more

I have now stayed that the Wescliff on a good number of occassions. Sometimes collegues of mine would join. I generally require a lot of assistance with booking, and travel, etc. The staff have always been polite and gone out of their way to make my stay a pleasure. The friendliness of the staff, and the general welcome back on... more
